For those of you who didn't hear about this, Lance Black from So Cal MC died at DMC's National H&H last Sunday. He was about two miles in on the second loop. Two play riders found him. It has been said that he died instantly, I'm supposing, from crashing on the course.

Here's the D-37 thread about it:

http://district37ama.org/forums/showthread.php?t=50628

I thought perhaps Scott Burnett would want to put up a post on the thread from RUTS. But others in RUTS certainly can too to offer comfort. Lance's wife has been reading the thread.

Lance also had two children. They are 12 and 14 years old.

You can imagine that everyone in So Cal is hurting, as are the people in District 37, and of course, Lance's family. Please pray for them all.

Thanks

As Jerry Grabow mentioned last night (Thursday, Jan. 5) at the D-37 Off-Road Committee meeting, below is the email from Senator Anderson's office. Please forward this to your club members and any other OHV enthusiasts and ask them to contact Senator Anderson.

Thank you,

Janine Kohls (D-37 secretary)

"Hi Scott,

Thank you for your call requesting information about the status of Daphne Greene’s appointment. I also appreciate your request for information on how concerned citizens can voice their opinion on this matter. We’re always happy to help you.

On January 1st, 2012, Daphne Green was terminated from her position as OHMVR Deputy Director by Governor Brown. Daphne Green has played a very important role in providing California’s OHV enthusiasts the freedom to use their off road vehicles, while also complying with state rules and regulations. Throughout her seven years of service, she has effectively balanced the interests of the OHV community, as well as environmentalists. She is exactly the type of fair and balanced public servant we need in this state.

As you know, State Senator Joel Anderson of Senate District 36 is a long-time advocate for keeping public lands open for the public to use. He is deeply concerned that if Daphne Greene’s termination has harmful implications for the OHV commission. That is why he sent the attached letter to Governor Brown at the end of December.

I know many off-roaders are outraged about Daphne Greene’s termination as well. Citizens that wish to make their voices heard on this issue, should send letters to Senator Anderson’s district office at:

Senator.Anderson@senate.ca.gov

or

State Senator Joel Anderson
500 Fesler Street, Suite 201
El Cajon, CA 92020

You can also express your concern by going to Senator Joel Anderson’s website at http://cssrc.us/web/36/ and selecting “Contact Me”, then “Email Me” and selecting “Support of Daphne Greene” from the select an issue dropdown menu.

Thank you for your time and concern and please call me with any questions."

"First, I would like to thank the Jackrabbits for a job well done. The starts, finishes and pits this weekend were awesome! It was clear that this club read what was in the SRP and followed it up on the ground. The riders meetings were some of the best and the ribbon at the start areas keeping spectators back was great. Your hard work everywhere showed. Keith, Kelly and crew hit a home run.

The riders of District 37 were also awesome. Everyone attended the riders meetings without an issue. Pit speeds were good as were speeds around the pit area and on Power Line Road and Teagle Wash.

I’m aware of only one issue with spectators being too close to the course and BLM handled the situation. When I walked over to the group they had already moved back or left the area.

There was an issue with a few riders digging their rear tires into the ground to hold their bikes up on the start line, but when I explained to them "why" we aren’t supposed to do that, not one of them complained.

District 37 is working very hard to get the "cost" to the clubs down and actions like this weekend will go a long way in reaching our goal. As stated at our January 5, 2012 Off-Road meeting, we hope to be able to lower the SRP surcharge portion of race entry fees sometime around March or April. I don't think the surcharge will go away entirely, but with weekends like this where our ridership and our clubs do what is spelled out in the SRP operating plan, the BLM can be assured that our events will be safe and that we will follow the "rules.”

Thanks again to everyone. What a great weekend -- and I didn't even take a bike!

Jerry"

Subject: Special Recreation Permit Rules and Guidelines for Pit Layouts at D-37 Races

Did you read the D-37 December 2011 Competition newsletter? On page 6, there is an article about Special Recreation Permit (SRP) Rules and Guidelines for Pit Layouts at D-37 Races. It includes a diagram to show us how pit row should be laid out. With Jackrabbits H&H coming up this weekend, you need to read this.

Keep in mind these rules are not new. We simply have not been following them closely in the past. They are now being enforced by the BLM because of the infamous truck crash a year ago. If clubs up and down pit row do not follow them, the club hosting the event can receive a negative mark by the BLM. This will affect whether we in D-37 can race again in the future. Yep, this is serious, folks.

1. All competitors must obey the 15 mph speed limit (1st gear) in the pit area.

2. Only active pit personnel are allowed within the pit vehicle parking area (where the bikes pull in).

3. Pit personnel MUST BE AT LEAST 18 YEARS OLD.

4. Spectators must remain far back behind the trucks holding the pit items and gas. This also means anyone under 18 years old.

5. All vehicles must be a minimum of 10 feet behind the pit area. (Spectators must remain far behind those vehicles at all times.)

6. All participants are required to have suitable fire extinguishers at their fuel/service pit

Notes: 1. The maximum fuel allowed on the ground is 35 gallons. The rest must remain in the back of the pit trucks.

2. Use a fuel spill control rug under motorcycle while fueling.

Please take the time to familiarize yourself and educate your spectator guests about the SRP pit area rules and guidelines prior to attending a District 37 desert race.

Dec 29th thru Jan 1st. A RUTS tradition dating way back. If you don’t mind bundling up, wearing a beanie and keeping your heater on, then this is the club ride for you. Ok, so its not as warm as Ocotillo Wells over New Years weekend, but we can promise you the riding is great and the crowds are NON existent. This annual club ride will draw 30+ families and its ALWAYS a good time. An Epic Saturday “long ride” and a Sunday morning church service will help make this a memorable New Years with your RUTS family. Have a model rocket? Bring them because we will have “Rocket Rampage” on Saturday late afternoon. Who’s will go the highest? Camp will be marked by WEDNESDAY mid day, TWO entrances will be marked in, traditional and 20 Mule Team. Some planed rides, like Blackwater Wells, Randsberg, the Husky memorial, fast rides as well as slow rides. Rides will start around 9 AM or 10 AM.
Friday night General meeting and fellowship, starts at 7 PM
Saturday night worship, Bible study, communion, dessert pot luck, fellowship, starts at 7 PM.
Sunday AM worship and Bible study at 9 AM.Anyone who wants to lead a ride let Tom or Sonny know. Everyone sign in at Tom’s trailer when you get there.

The FIRST link below will take you to the Fremont Peak Road entrance, 13.5 miles NORTH of Kramer Junction (Hyw 395 and 58) From there, follow the RUTS arrow to the first dry lake BEHIND Fremont Peak. The second entrance (longer, but easier drive) is 4.8 miles NORTH of the Fremont Peak Road entrance.

If anyone is going out Wednesday, Randy Hettema will be marking Cuddeback and Fremont Roads by 12 noon. We will try and camp at the same spot as last year, but if that spot is taken look for RUTS signs to another spot. You can call me if you have any questions. 714 606-8046
